The lettering "S450" on the sides does not necessarily ensure that the small machine stands out clearly enough from the BMW S 1000 RR (right).

Here you can see the original. To say that the Moto S 450 RR was inspired by the S 1000 RR would be an understatement.

Moto S 450 RR – S 1000 RR clone from China

BMW is investigating the matter legally

Blue-white-red paint, RR lettering on the side panel and a modified logo – it is crystal clear that the Moto S 450 RR wants to copy the BMW S 1000 RR.

I.is that still flattery? We doubt it. Rather brazen calculation. Because a "small" Making a motorcycle look like one of the most successful large sports motorcycles guarantees attention and, most likely, successful sales figures in the Asian markets. When we asked how the German manufacturer assesses the appearance of such a plagiarism and whether it plans to take legal action against it, BMW Motorrad replies that they take the issue of product copies very seriously and therefore also in this case the copy of the S 1000 RR will investigate legally.

Actually propeller in the logo

The Moto S 450 RR creates the amazing similarity to the BMW S 1000 RR primarily through the lines on the fairing with almost identical graphics and of course through the blue-white-red color scheme. The gag with the logo: The modified emblem shows a propeller and probably refers to the rotating aircraft propeller, which is repeatedly associated with the original logo. The fact that the BMW logo shows a spinning propeller is a rumor. The blue and white fields in the logo refer to the Bavarian national coat of arms. Whether intended or not – one or the other will smile about it.

Plagiarism with 24 hp at 6,500 rpm

The name of the Chinese BMW replica is not particularly original either. Plain and simple "Moto" is the name of the brand. The model designation of the S 1000 RR is also imitated, except that the information on the displacement between the letters has been adapted. Because the engine of the S 450 RR has nothing in common with the over 200 HP original: The small in-line two-cylinder generates around 24 HP at 6,500 rpm from an estimated displacement of around 450 cm³.

The Moto S 450 RR is equipped with an adjustable upside-down fork at the front and a monoshock damper at the rear. Braking is carried out with radially mounted four-piston brake calipers, which are probably connected to an ABS system.

Price is the equivalent of 1,800 euros

The Moto S 450 RR is offered in Thailand, for example. The price is 67,000 Baht, which is about 1,800 euros. However, we strongly doubt that this model will roll onto the European market.

Conclusion

It’s pretty bold how the BMW S 1000 RR should serve as a template here. Then it would be better to use cardboard clothing that was lovingly handcrafted and used for personal use, as the boys from Vietnam demonstrated.
